I get it. You don’t like him. But, he’s in a civil case where James says he frauded “the people of NY”…. How specifically did he fraud NY?
Because he failed to pay proper amounts of property taxes, and by claiming illegal tax deductions for them.
The story of the upstate New York property is a classic case of Trump, undervaluing the property and suing the community over the property tax assessment for a period of 10 years until finally, they devalued their assessment, and he settled for pennies on the dollar to what he actually owed.
The county had already spent the money years before, so Trump’s failure to pay the taxes assessed, and to grind the county to a halt in expensive litigation, means that the rest of the county residents had their taxes increased to cover the amount Trump failed to pay.
But all of the explanations require a banker, or a lawyer’s, knowledge of property values and assessments, for it to make any sense at all to them.
You can’t put the explanations on a bumper sticker so that Republicans can understand it.
